As we recently highlighted (see Legal update: ICC to publish guidelines for reducing time and costs in arbitration) the ICC Commission on Arbitration has published a document entitled "Techniques for Controlling Time and Cost in Arbitration". The document, which was officially approved on 12 March 2007, was discussed and debated at an ICC UK conference on 27 March 2007, which was co-chaired by Chris Newmark (co-chair of the ICC Task Force on Arbitration) and Peter Wolrich (chair of the ICC Commission on Arbitration). The conference was attended by over 100 delegates, including barristers, solicitors, arbitrators and users of arbitration.
